All songs on this page were created and recorded in my home studio. Live recordings were shaped in post-production — additional MIDI notes were layered onto rough melodies and chord progressions to bring them to life. Guitars were performed and recorded live, while vocals were contributed remotely by a range of talented artists.
These tracks are made with passion, not perfection — I hope you enjoy them for what they are.

Lost in Solitude
This song grew from a simple piano melody in D Mixolydian, which was gradually built out with a chord progression woven around it. All instruments except the guitars were programmed in Reaper. The guitars — both steel-string and nylon-string — were recorded live.
You can play the song in high quality here:
The beautiful vocals were performed remotely by SevdaB from Georgia. The song was written during the second lockdown in the winter of 2020.
The accompanying video was created using AI-generated footage from Runway Gen-2, edited and assembled in sync with the rhythm of the music.
The following song is based upon a picture drawn by my daughter. It is the first song created using no computer in the first round. All synth tracks were recorded in a second step and additional layers from Zebra-Synth and BBC-Orchestra were added in post-production. The vocals are generated using AI but later substituted by real vocals.
ENERGY SAVER MODE
They think I’m lazy hanging in this tree But I have optimized my whole biology While you’re rushing, stressing, running all around I’m conserving power, barely touching ground
I’m not slow, I’m efficient Every move is intentional, sufficient Why waste energy when you can calculate? Three-toed genius at a lower metabolic rate I’m in energy saver mode Living life on the sustainable road
My algae coat’s a solar panel camouflage While you’re burning calories, I dodge Twenty hours sleeping, four to eat and climb I’ve mastered productivity per unit time I’m not slow, I’m efficient Every move is intentional, sufficient Why waste energy when you can calculate? Three-toed genius at a lower metabolic rate I’m in energy saver mode Living life on the sustainable road Bridge:
They wrote the handbook on the hustle grind But I found the loophole they declined Minimum input, maximum survival That’s not lazy, that’s evolutionary arrival
I’m not slow, I’m brilliant Energy economics, I’m fluent Work smarter, not harder, I relate Hanging upside down in my power save state I’m in energy saver mode And I’ve cracked the conservation code
Oh…
Version with AI only
Human version (pitch corrected)
You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I’ll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? ’Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I’ll rise.
Like dust I rise
I recently changed my setup to DAW-less. Instead of having a computer as centerpiece of making music, everything is controlled by a Boss RC 600 looper and the Digitakt.
This first track is based upon the AI version of a famous poem „Still I rise“ by Maya Angelou. I transformed that poem into spoken words using a text to speech AI. The outcome is transformed to synchronize with 129 beats per minute and I added some effects to it. This vocal file is loaded into the Boss RC 600 looper. All instruments are sequenced by the Digitakt. The first synth sound is a Waldorf Iridium, the second base is a Moog Subsequent 25 and the Piano part is played on the Yamaha Montage. Rhythm sounds are all programmed on the Digitakt.
